Template breakdown

1

Source Content Analysis

Start with your original content piece (blog post, video, podcast, etc.) and break it down into its core components: key takeaways, quotable lines, data points, step-by-step processes, and stories. Each component becomes a potential social media post.

Platform Adaptation Matrix

Map each content component to the best platform and format. A stat becomes a LinkedIn text post. A step-by-step process becomes an Instagram carousel. A hot take becomes a tweet. A behind-the-scenes story becomes a TikTok or Instagram Story.

Format Transformation Guide

For each piece of source content, identify which formats you can transform it into: text post, carousel, short video (Reel/TikTok), long video, infographic, Story series, thread, or quote graphic. Not every format works for every piece — focus on natural fits.
